Review: The fries were real hand-cut fries. They seemed to be a little smaller than standard. They were well done, but not crispy. The doneness seemed to bring the sweetness out of the potatoes. There was a decent amount of cheese curds. The gravy was of a thicker consistency with rich beef flavour. Rating: 8.4/10

Gaga Patates – Burger
Review: The patty was about 1/4 lb, cooked well-done on the flat top. It was topped with a slice of processed cheese. I really enjoyed the combination of the grilled onions and iceberg lettuce. It was all on a plain bun that was lightly toasted. Rating: 6.5/10
Don Floriano – Pizza
Review: The crust had a chewy, Neapolitan-like texture with a good amount of char. There was only a little bit of sauce, but it was good. The pepperoni was the small, cup-style pepperoni with a little bit of spice. Rating: 7.7/10
Pong’s Poutine – Burger
Review: The burger was quite big with a patty that seemed to be in the 6-7oz range. It was cooked well done and placed on top of the cheese. It had regular leaf lettuce. Everything was on a large bakery-style bun. It was good, but a little too bready. Rating: 7.0/10
Pong’s Poutine – Poutine
Review: The fries were hand-cut shoestring fries, which was a great differentiator from other places. The gravy was a pretty standard brown gravy. There was a good amount of curds. Rating: 8.4/10
Le Moulin de Provence – Pizza
Review: This is a bakery pizza. I tried it cold before heating it up. I didn’t love the choice of crust. It was like a dense bun rather than a typical pizza crust or something more like focaccia which can also work. It was pretty greasy. The rest of the pizza was stronger. It needed …
Poutinerie La Trappe – Burger
Review: The patty was fairly large, probably in the 5-6oz range. It was cooked to well done, but had no outer crust. It was very soft. It was topped with a generous amount of roquette cheese. I really enjoyed the crispy onions, the aioli and the pretzel bun. I didn’t love the greens. This burger …
Poutinerie La Trappe – Poutine
Review: This featured real hand-cut fries. They were topped with a lighter gravy (seemed more like a chicken base than beef base). As you’d expect from a cheese factory, there were plenty of curds and they were very fresh. Rating: 8.2/10
Big Rig – Pizza
Review: This was identified as “Montreal-Style” which I’d never heard of, but apparently it means, at least in part, that the crust should thick, but not dense and that the sauce should be a little sweet. In that respect, the description was quite accurate, especially the crust that looked like it was going to be …
Smash Daddy – Burger
Review: This had 2 thin patties with a nice crust. There was a generous amount of cheese. The burger sauce was solid. The pickles were among the best I’ve ever had. The bun held up just enough. The meat to cheese to bun ratio was very good. Rating: 8.1/10
